LOGLINE
A lonely thirteen-year-old befriends a tomato-eating vampire, then faces a predatory teacher whose dark plans force him to choose courage, trust, and survival.
SYNOPSIS
Lonely thirteen-year-old Kay encounters a frightening new neighbor who turns out to be an unusual vampire: instead of drinking blood, Tomacula survives on ripe tomatoes. Their unlikely friendship grows just as a new teacher arrives at Kay’s school and begins behaving in increasingly suspicious ways. What starts as a comic twist on vampire lore becomes a suspenseful adventure involving danger, secrecy, loneliness, and the courage to trust an unexpected protector.
